{ }Clear skies are forecast tonight as high pressure builds back across the region. We expect sunshine to continue for a while tomorrow but look for increasing cloudiness later in the afternoon. Another area of low pressure is likely to bring rain back to the area on Thursday and Thursday night. I should point out there is a slight risk the rain could begin as a wintry mix on Thursday morning.{ }Scattered showers will linger through a good portion of Friday.

{ }Over the weekend, sunshine will be at a premium Saturday with mostly cloudy skies the mostly likely outcome. On Sunday, a cold front will cross the area, dropping temperatures and creating the opportunity for a few flurries. Another warming trend will develop by Tuesday of next week.
